Ultraman Tregear (ウルトラマントレギア, Urutoraman Toregia), also known as Kirisaki (霧崎), is a fallen Ultra who masterminded the events of Ultraman R/B and the main antagonist of Ultraman R/B The Movie: Select! The Crystal of Bond and Ultraman Taiga.
Personality[]
In his youth, he was the antisocial yet curious best friend of Ultraman Taro who was interested with subjects that are even considered off-limits by normal standards, a trait that once brought them into a trouble. Despite this, he had a strong sense of justice as much as his said friend and aspired to join the Inter Galactic Defense Force alongside the latter, having admired Taro as a role model and cherished every moment he spent with him. The repeated misfortunes throughout his attempts to keep up with Taro's increasing popularity coupled with Land of Light's uneventful history had shattered everything Tregear believed in and twisted his worldview, leading to his self-imposed exile from his homeworld.
Whereas Belial actively sought to avenge his exile from Land of Light and gaining power for such purpose, Tregear was more interested in spreading discord and misery solely for its sake through deceiving people under the pretense of fulfilling their dreams instead of causing them outright and watching destructive consequences of his actions from sidelines, only interfering if things either don't get into his way or simply to spite his enemies further. Moreover, his conflicts against Taiga cemented the fact that Tregear utterly bereft of a sliver of sympathetic qualities found in Belial owing to his more diluted sense of morality; not only he rather saw everything to be destroyed as light and darkness were nothing more than two different sides of a coin, but also perceived power of bonds as a major taboo for him.
The one and only person Tregear genuinely holds to higher standards is Taro due to their past friendship. He considered him as the only opponent worthy of his time and therefore drops his smug behavior in his presence, becoming much more serious in attitude and fighting style. Conversely, he holds the Tri-Squad, Taiga, Titas, and Fuma in great contempt; Tregear initially didn't think much of them, particularly Taiga due to him being named after the very device he and Taro developed in the past, Taiga Spark, and even only referred the young Ultra as "son of Taro" to spite him. His rivalry with Taiga soon takes the worst turn after he failed to corrupt the young Ultra in courtesy of Hiroyuki, filling Tregear with seething insanity to the point of the fallen Ultra equating Taiga Tri-Strium and his defeat at hands of the latter with the ultimate humiliation. After such major loss, the deranged Tregear becomes obsessed in tormenting Hiroyuki and the Tri-Squad even more, going so far as targeting their friends and summoning Woola in revenge. Not surprisingly, such obsession is not only what lead to his eventual defeat at hands of Taiga, but also further solidifying how much the power of bonds, something he grew to despise, became his greatest weak point.
History[]
Background[]
As told in Ultraman Taiga Novel: Tregear's Story/Blue Shadow, in his younger days, Tregear was once a student of Ultra Elementary School who befriended his classmate Taro. The two went through several adventures together, such as trespassing into a forbidden region that later revealed to be the tomb where those who fell during Great Ultra War buried at and got into troubles with the teachers in process and stopping the outbreak of DNA-assimilating organisms born from some sort of primordial soup of life within an ancient space ship that inadvertently released while dealing Gagoze threat at Planet Tika-Du. During that time, Tregear studied topics which Land of Light never bother to explore such as night, darkness, loneliness, and fear at the library just as he himself saw his best friend as a symbol of light. Tregear also wrote a poem of Taro to express it, though his said friend thought little of it beyond seeing his talent for poetry.
Tregear's days following his graduation were not kind to him. Not only he failed to follow Taro in joining Inter Galactic Defense force, but when he joined the Bureau of Space Science and Technology instead so he could continue assist his friend and brethren, Tregear's mentor, Hikari, got resigned and left to Planet Arb out of guilt over his Life-Force Solidification invention being the cause of many attacks on the Land of Light before they could complete the device that could transform an Ultraman's particles to be taken into other creatures for multiversal travel purposes. As dismayed as he was, Tregear chose to press on and made a significant progress thanks to Taro's advice to rely on bonds through the latter's experience with humans. Eventually, once they completed and miniaturized the machine together, the two named it Taiga Spark as per Taro's suggestion. Despite such success, Taro's departure and misfortunes that followed it dismayed Tregear further to the point of inspiring him to write a poem which about him wallowing in the darkness; throughout conflicts against forces of evil, enemies of Land of Light consistently matched his people's defenses despite improvements that had been made that battles only escalate. Further disillusioned by uneventful history of Land of Light, including Hikari's fall to vengeance that made him understood his sorrow, Tregear concluded that his people's ideals were nothing more than deception, and that they fight because they have power instead of upholding justice as they believed to be, making them and those they fight against as, effectively making their ideals and enemies being two sides of the same coin. And so, he denied the position of Deputy Director of the Bureau of Space Science and Technology before departed from Land of Light.
Arriving at Planet Tutuola, Tregear found a pool of organic matter among rubbish that was managed by the Intersellar Alliance there. To ease his loneliness and finding it similar with one he and Taro encountered at Planet Tika-Du long ago, Tregear used the matter to create a slug-like life form resembling Namegon which he named Snark, which translated into "Chibisuke" on the Land of Light. Unfortunately, the creature grew large and aggressive, forcing the Ultra to exploit a bug in its DNA to force it to transform into different kinds of creatures before putting Snark out of its misery by turning it into a dying flower. Sometime after leaving the planet out of guilt, Tregear was surprised by the news of Taro naming his son Taiga, proving that Taro still cared with him and indeed named Taiga Spark after his would-be future son. However, Tregear delved further into the darkness just as his best friend and his son went on the path of light.
Throughout his long journey, Tregear's belief of light and darkness being meaningless grew through ordeals he went through. At that point, he managed to decipher the ancient writings he had encountered on Planet Tika-Du long ago, and his discovery brought him to Planet Volhes at the Milky Way. Opening the abyss in the ruins at the planet, Tregear discovered primordial chaos gods the all-powerful kaiju Grimdo comprised of within, sealed to maintain the balance in the universe. Just as Belial allowed the spirit of Alien Reiblood to merge with him and became the infamous Ultra-Reionyx he is now, Tregear allowed Grimdo to merge with him through his color timer, transforming into a fallen Ultra like Belial himself. Abandoning his identity as an Ultra, Tregear began his quest to spread chaos and discord throughout universes. Notably, it was he who bestowed Mulnau her crystal-based powers and created Leugocyte, a very deadly bioweapon Rosso, Blu, and Grigio fought in the past, from a harmless Space White Blood Cell.

Behind the Scenes[]
Portrayal[]
Ultraman Tregear is voiced by Yuma Uchida (内田 雄馬, Uchida Yūma). His suit actor is Shinnosuke Ishikawa (石川 真之介, Ishikawa Shinnosuke).
Etymology[]
Tregear's name comes from the combination of the Greek words for Mad (τρέλα Trelós) and Curiosity (περιέργεια Periérgeia).[2]
Notes[]
- Tregear's name in the language of the Land of Light means "Mad Curiosity". [2]
- Ultraman Tregear is the spiritual successor of Ultraman Belial, owing to the fact that both are fallen Ultras from the Land of Light and were estranged from Father of Ultra and Taro as well as empowered by immensely powerful entities (Alien Reiblood for Belial and Grimdo for Tregear).
- Tregear Early Style's head sculpt is very similar to Ultraman Orb's.
- Unlike Belial's Early Style, Tregear's gloves and boots do not have cuffs to emulate the Showa Era suits.
